I've been jonesin' for panini, so we cranked out some eggplant parmesan and added some tomato sauce, basil and Teese along with our trusty cast-iron grill pan and got to work...

Soy margarine is spread on the bread and the Eggplant Parmesan pieces are placed on top in the grill pan.

Add the tomato sauce (not too much as it will ooze out).

Add some basil.

Add the Teese.

Add the top piece of bread, and place a second cast-iron pan on top of the bread to weigh it down (there were two other panini in the pan added later, not shown). Rotate 90° degrees halfway through the cooking, flip and repeat.

3. Links to recipes are shown when available, if there's no link, we'll try to cite the book/magazine issue from where it came. If there's no recipe cited, it usually means we made it up... and if there's nothing at all, enjoy the pretty pictures. ;)

4. We don't like ersatz food (i.e. tofu molded into the shape of a turkey for Thanksgiving), but we're funny that way.

5. A brief personal history. We were vegetarian for 7 years, and have been vegan for the last 20 years.
